Warning: mention of possible suicide.

According to the police, Lee Sun Gyun has passed away.

On December 27, the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station reported that they had found an unconscious man inside a parked car in Seoul’s Waryong Park. They had gone to the site after receiving an emergency call from a woman who said her husband had left the house after writing what appeared to be a suicide note.

Later that morning, the police confirmed reports that the man in question was Lee Sun Gyun by stating, “His identity has been confirmed.”

The police are also said to have found evidence of lit charcoal briquettes inside Lee Sun Gyun’s car, further suggesting that his death may have been a suicide.

Starting this past October, Lee Sun Gyun had been under investigation by the police on charges of illegal drug use.

    6. 12:24 At sa tingin mo hindi ka mamaru dyan sa comment mo? Just because you don't agree, mamaru na ang commenter. Importante din na nagbabasa ka ng news para hindi lang based sa speculation ang reply mo. To answer your comment, interrogation or questioning is a chance for him to clear his name. Kung naghahanap ka ng reason as to what lead him to his death, here's one:
      His three appearances at police stations for questioning were highly publicised, and made headlines. His lawyer, after his final session on December 23 , asked that any further questioning be carried out in private, owing to the 'burden' of the spotlight.
      Other reasons are being dropped from major projects and fired by one of the production company of a show he's working on.

    1. Sayang siya. He had a nice, sexy voice and discreet sexual appeal sa mga projects niya.

      May worst criminal charges and conviction nga other K-artists (rape, hardcore drugs, etc) but siya, he thought of ending his life.

      He left behind his actress-wife and two sons.

      So young to die at 48. Sad!

  10. ouch. Di matapos tapos ang suicide news about korean celebrities. Nakakalungkot kasi napakaseryoso ng culture nila na kahit elementary at high school students nagpapakamatay din.

    7. Wala na po kasing delikadeza ang mga Pinoy. Tapos super forgiving pa. It's anything from being late (stuck kasi sa traffic), to normalizing cheaters and drunkards/gamblers (di kasi naaasikaso ng asawa) to voting unqualified public servants (kasi mukha namang mabait). Endemic, kumbaga.

    11. 1:56 at 2:08 wag na kayo masaktan kasi totoo naman. Baka isa din kayo don. Makapal ang apog ng Pinoy. Napahiya na't lahat, gumawa na ng kabalastugan at kahihiyan eh taas noo pa ding naglalakad sa kalye. Eh sila sa Korea at Japan kahit di totoo ang tsismis nahihiya. May dignidad kasi at kahihiyan. Di kapal apog at kapit sa patalim. Nakakasuka naman talaga ang ibang ugali ng Pinoy sa totoo lang. Wag maangmaaangan school of acting kasi tinamaan.

He executed that scene soo good. Sayang. Rest in Peace Sir, you left behind string of quality movies and kdramas to remember you by.

  30. I used to be a KPOP fan ng 2nd gen. Whenever there is a dr#g issue, kawawa talaga kahit di pa napatunayan. Tapos grabe mangcrucify. Tipong walang mababalikan. I remember din na isang 2nd gen KPOP idol nila wala namang ebidensya makita pero kinulong pa rin dahil sa public opinion. Ganyan sila kalala. Kaya I stopped patronizing their music and dramas. Pag may issue bansa nila, binabaling sa mga artists nila. Lalo na pag mayaman involved or government official.

  47. He is a very talented actor pero it seems may mga demons din sya. Nakabangon nga si Lee Byung Hun dati na halos pareho sila ng issues, kinulang siguro sya sa strong support system. Ang OA ng mga Knetz when it comes to drug use, lifestyle choice naman nila yan.
    They should instead advocate for rehab and going after the suppliers instead of persecuting the users like it's a death sentence.
